From the Rabbi As we look ahead to the New Year 5771 I share this poem by Rabbi Sandy Eisenberg Sasso adapted from “What I wish for my son, I wish for all our children” which expresses my hopes and aspirations. What I wish for you On this Rosh Hashanah and throughout the years to come, I wish you to become people of character strong but not tough, gentle but not weak. May you learn to laugh at yourselves, but not mock others. May you grow to be righteous but not self-righteous, honest but not unforgiving. Wherever you journey, I hope that your steps will be firm, that you will walk in just paths and not be afraid. Whenever you speak, may your words be words of wisdom and friendship.
May the voices of the generations of our people move through you and may the God of our ancestors be your God as well. I pray that you know that there is a people, a rich heritage, to which you belong. May you be bounded to our people and its land, and know that through that sacred heritage and from that sacred place, you are connected to all who dwell on the earth. I hope that the stories of our people will be upon your heart, and your soul dance with gracefulness to the rhythm of Torah and Mitzvot. For our children and for us, let us say, Amen. With best wishes for a healthy, peaceful and meaningful New Year 5771,
May your hands build and your heart perceive what is good and beautiful in our world.
Shalom,
Rabbi Jacob Luski
From the Cantor’s Keyboard “100 Voices: A Journey Home” is a compelling and moving musical documentary that uniquely tells the history of Jewish culture in Poland. It highlights the current resurgence of Jewish culture through the personal reflections and musical selections of a group of cantors from the Cantors Assembly and acclaimed composer Charles Fox who made an important historical mission to the birthplace of Cantorial music. The documentary will give generations the opportunity to learn about and re-embrace the Jewish culture that produced one of the most artistic and educated societies that once flourished in Europe. Above all, the Program will celebrate the resilience and the power of Jewish life, while telling the story of two peoples who shared intertwined cultures. ONE SHOWING ONLY: Regal Park Place Stadium 16, U.S. 19 & Park Blvd. Tuesday, September 21st, 7:00 PM For tickets go to: FathomEvents.com/100 voices

From the President Blessing of the Children May your New Year be filled With Peace, Good Health, Happiness and Joy. Karen and Mendel Sher
Parents will have the opportunity to fulfill the mitzvah of reciting the blessing over their children at Erev Rosh Hashana Services on Wednesday, September 8th at 7:30 pm.
Karen Sher, President
From the Executive Director Recently when I was having dinner with a friend, a sudden storm appeared and then stopped just as we were leaving the restaurant. We stepped into the parking lot and a gorgeous full complete double rainbow appeared in the sky. It was spectacular. The twin rainbows seemed to be illuminating paths leading somewhere new. It makes me think about the paths we choose in life, and how we proceed on them. As Jews, our spiritual path begins from within, and is enhanced many ways, some of which are through prayer and congregation. Whether at services or a synagogue event, Judaism surrounds us and supports us. An exciting year has been planned for your participation. Plan to attend minyan regularly, services more often. Volunteer to be a greeter at services, work in the preschool, in the religious school, for the youth department, in Sisterhood, Men’s Club, or in the office; for an event, or join a committee. Attend more events. GET INVOLVED! Try it, you’ll like it. We have a wonderful volunteer base. We can make it even better if you decide to join it. As you begin the New Year, do it with vigor and with a new and improved attitude. Call me or stop by the office if you can’t find your niche and we can explore the possibilities together. In the meantime, I want to wish everyone and their families a happy and a healthy New Year. L’Shana Tova, Sara Latham Executive Director

SISTERHOOD Community, Creativity, Challenge—this is the Sisterhood mantra this year! Our goals for the coming year will incorporate each of these. First we stress community—within Sisterhood, CBI, and our community. Creativity will abound under the wonderful leadership of Sheryl Sutton who has many different and exciting plans. The challenges of the year will be part of our financial responsibilities to the constituents of the aforementioned community. CBI Sisterhood has been busy planning an exciting and fun-filled year. If you haven’t done so already, please be sure to pay your dues so you don’t miss out on any of the emails, snail-mails, and phone calls that will keep you in the loop to participate. Be ready for your new Torah Fund pin when Marilyn LeVine approaches you. And if it is your birthday month, expect to hear from Kitty Jacobs or Naomi Berg. They will be asking you to celebrate with the congregation and support our new monthly Birthday Kiddush. We will decorate the Sukkah, have a Kitchen Shower, participate in a special joint Sisterhood-Men’s Club event, to name a few activities. There will be a very special and meaningful Sisterhood Shabbat, so please
save January 14-15 and be ready to say “yes” and participate. No need to worry—we have plenty of functions for everyone—from cooking, singing, speaking, serving, and even praying! The kitchen needs some new equipment so we are having a Kitchen Shower on Oct 27th. Sisterhood is registered with Bed Bath & Beyond. Go into the store or go online to the gift registry and look up CBI Sisterhood. Or buy a gift card through CBI SCRIP for Bed, Bath & Beyond and you can purchase something for the shower AND automatically give back to CBI. It’s a “win-win.” Call Alice Ettinger, 727-954-4805 for information and scrip. As we embark on the New Year, we realize that this is another chance to renew ourselves. Personally, I enjoy seeing friends and family—whether related by blood or by our choice as our CBI family. Prayer, commitment, and our binding faith bring us together. Regardless of the hustle and bustle we feel, take the time to look around. Notice the smiles; hear the good wishes for “L’shanah tova” from all of us to all of you. Alice G Ettinger, Sisterhood President
MITZVAH MEN’S CLUB As the High Holy Days approach we have begun a process of preparing ourselves. As part of this process we make plans for which activities and goals we would like to accomplish with those around us. This is also a time to assess whether we have met previous goals and work towards realistic expectations for what we can accomplish in the coming year. The High Holidays are the time for undertaking this kind of inventory. We should do this type of work individually, but also with those around us, the people who make up our support, our network, our team. For those of us involved with the preparation of programs and services for Congregation B’nai Israel, we reflect on the previous year and concentrate on our current state of affairs, as we also create a vision of tomorrow. One of the Mitzvah Men’s Club goals is to dramatically improve programming to meet your needs. As you introspect, how about committing to participating in your Men’s Club activities. Everyone is welcome. Feel free to contact me anytime at kkohan@remax.net.

THE PAULINE RIVKIND PRESCHOOL The Birthday of the World:
Rosh Hashana
Rosh Hashana, the chance to make a fresh start. This is the time for families to rededicate themselves to appreciating the life and home they have built and to making them better. It is the time to look back at the mistakes we have made and the ways in which we have hurt others and we ask forgiveness. We also forgive others. Rosh Hashana is a wonderful time for home and family celebrations. We eat symbolic foods: Round foods represent the yearly cycle and time without beginning or end, and sweet foods enrich our desire for a sweet, delicious year. Prepare for the festive meals together. Bake a round challah or a sweet honey cake. Slice some apples and serve with honey. Pauline Rivkind Preschool is making cards and delivering them to Menorah Manor. We have a Rosh Hashana party when we hear the Shofar and eat some apples and honey. Congregation B'nai Israel provides a full range of services and activities for all of the children during High Holiday services. Babysitting for children 18 months through 5 years old begins at 9:30 am in the preschool. Reservations are required. Be sure to come into the Sukkah too, and see the great decorations by our preschoolers B’Shalom, Bonnie P. Halprin, Preschool Director
CHANGE IN ACADEMIC SETTING We welcome children who have changed their academic settings. Please contact the PRTT office for information and a registration form.
JUNIOR CONGREGATION Some of the most important components of a good Jewish background need more than just study in a classroom. It is essential that our students have regular synagogue experience on Shabbat that interests and inspires them. Here at CBI we hold special Junior Congregation services for children in grades 3-7 on Shabbat mornings in the Chapel at 10:00 am. They will put into practice the lessons they have learned during the week. Each student will have the opportunity to lead parts of the service, learn new melodies, and explore Shabbat teachings and stories. They will also gain the confidence they will need when it comes time to lead services for their Bar/Bat Mitzvah celebrations. Junior Congregation begins September 11th and will meet again September 25th. Information regarding High Holiday Youth Services, please refer to page 3 in your High Holiday Handbook.
THE PAULINE RIVKIND TALMUD TORAH Welcome to an exciting new year at PRTT! I hope you enjoyed your summer vacation, and I look forward to hearing about your summer adventures. I hope you’re ready to embark on a new adventure this year with PRTT! Welcome to our teaching staff: Janice LeVine, Yardena Isakson, Shoshana David, Mary Wygodski, Pam Himmel, and Hazzan Paul Goldstein. At PRTT, our goal is not only to educate our Jewish children, but to nurture a love of Judaism and pride in self. Your children are our number one priority, and we are grateful for the opportunity you have given us to be a part of their Jewish education. Learning at PRTT is the complete experience. The rich history, language and study of prayer are further enhanced by the growth of the child into a caring, compassionate member of our synagogue community, our Jewish community, and our Jewish world. Each year, we evaluate our curriculum to determine strengths and weaknesses in the programming and to help plan for the future. We have found that the success of our students is directly correlated to the involvement of their families. One of our goals this year is to make that involvement a more natural part of the education process. A new program has been designed with this goal in mind: Sunday Seminars. Sunday Seminars will be a time for families to learn something new, have a nosh, do a fun activity and just be together. There will be guest speakers on hand to discuss a variety of topics and who are eager to share their wealth of information with you. Mostly, Sunday Seminars will give us the time to be together and help us further build bonds with each other and within our synagogue community. The Sunday Seminars will be chaired by Mrs. Liz Sembler. Todah Rabah to Mrs. Sembler for being instrumental in launching this exciting series. It is also one of our goals that what is learned within our PRTT walls doesn’t get left behind when our children leave the building. To help continue the conversations at home, you will be receiving our new weekly newsletter, Shavuaon. In it, there will be a summary of that week’s parsha, vocabulary words and translations, and thought provoking questions that you can discuss at home. I would also very much like to highlight personal accomplishments of your children, so if you would like your child recognized for their accomplishments, academic or otherwise, please let me know. I won’t know unless you tell me, so don’t hesitate to call me and share the good news! I am thrilled that the weekly newsletter Shavoun is chaired by Sheryl Sutton! Todah Rabah for being vastly resourceful in launching this exciting Newsletter. Todah Rabah to Patzi Gil for all her creativity in designing the school calendar and the PRTT Handbook! This year has unlimited potential for success, and I need your help to make it the best, most successful year ever. There are many opportunities to get involved in PRTT, and I am grateful for any assistance you can offer to create memorable experiences for our children. Thank you for trusting your child’s Jewish education with us. It’s going to be a great year! Shalom, Ilana Dayan, Education Director

CBI USY NEWS AND VIEWS I am so excited to begin my year as CBI’s USY chapter President! I am confident that this year, the youth programs will continue to improve and we will have the best year yet. Our opening USY program, the annual Jewau, was a huge success. Thank you to the Kobernick family for hosting this amazing event. We are looking forward to USY Board installation, which will take place on September 4th prior to the Selihot Services. We are planning various events and conventions for this year. Please let Sandy Brasch know if you would like to volunteer. I would like to extend a personal invitation to all Jewish high school students, whether you are affiliated with CBI or not, to attend a USY program to see what we’re all about. I intend to spend this year building on the successes of the previous years. It is my personal belief, and my motivation for leading our chapter, that providing opportunity for Jewish youth to interact is crucial to the future of Judaism. Our chapter provides a fun and exciting way to let our members perform Tikkun Olam and grow as Jews. Julia Halprin, President St. Petersburg USY

SUNDAY, OCTOBER 3RD
1:00 P.M. ON THE BIG SCREEN IN THE BENJAMIN SOCIAL HALL FEATURING
"Mamadrama: The Jewish Mother in Cinema" Written & Directed by Monique Schwarz With characteristic Jewish humor, iconic filmmakers Paul Mazursky, Paul Bogart and Larry Peerce and actress Lainie Kazan reflect with disarming candor on their own Jewish mothers and how they influenced their on-screen portrayals. Critics J. Hoberman, Patricia Erens, Michael Medved and Sharon Rivo discuss the changing image of the Jewish mother on screen and Israeli directors Avram Hefner and Zepel Yeshurun and actress Gila Almagor illustrate the uniqueness of Israeli filmic images. Mamadrama features hilarious film clips from Come Blow Your Horn, Goodbye Columbus, Next Stop Greenwich Village, The Jazz Singer, Portnoy's Complaint, Where's Poppa, Torch Song Trilogy, rare Yiddish films and recent Israeli features. Interspersed throughout is the story of Schwarz’s own mother, Berta, from her life in Vienna before World War II to her struggles as an immigrant in post-war Australia, a picture of a woman vastly different from the Jewish mothers seen in contemporary films.

“ A season is set for everything, a time for every experience under heaven” Ecclesiastes 3:1 Congregation B’nai Israel is OUR home to celebrate ALL THE SEASONS OF OUR LIVES. With each life-cycle event, joyous or sorrowful, OUR congregational family comes together. We come together for daily prayer and for major holidays. We come together to learn and to study no matter OUR age or gender. The synagogue is OUR community and, as in any other community, the financial needs are ever present. Funds to support the upkeep of OUR beautiful building and OUR broad programming are always a primary concern. Salaries for those professionals and staff who tend to OUR spiritual needs and attend to the details of running and maintaining OUR synagogue are critical. Yet, less than 30% of the operating budget comes from synagogue dues. The 5771 Kol Nidre Campaign is the largest single source of income to support Congregation B’nai Israel. Each and every pledge is important to the Campaign, and we APPRECIATE AND THANK EACH DONOR for his or her best effort. It is my pleasure to serve as Chairman for the 5771 Kol Nidre Campaign, and I thank the members of our committee for their role in the success of OUR campaign. With the support of ALL OF OUR SYNAGOGUE MEMBERS, we ensure that Congregation B’nai Israel will be there for every season and experience under heaven. Leslie Pearlstein, Chairman, 5771 Kol Nidre Campaign

FUNDRAISING REPORT As we head into the holiday season, I want to thank all of the people who have supported CBI’s fund raising efforts in the past year with their time and money. This year when you think about gifts for people who are hard to buy for think about leaves on the beautiful Tree of Life. Leaves can be purchased for only $218. Todah Rabah again to Leslie Pearlstein and the Kol Nidre committee. Please be sure your gift is included this year. Every gift is meaningful. If you want to get involved and add your talents to CBI’s fund raising team, please contact me. On behalf of my family, I want to wish everyone a happy, healthy 5771. P.S. Save the date for our annual Gift & Craft Show, December 4 th and 5th.

FAMILY PROGRAMS As the month of Elul comes to a close and Tishri starts we begin again. Although each year we celebrate the same holidays and say the same prayers, we are experiencing them from a different place. We have all changed during this past year and will experience the holidays during our yearly cycle from this new perspective. This opens up endless possibilities of growth and discovery. If you have never built a Sukka before let this be the year. Share the experience of Sukkot with friends and family and experience how rich our traditions are. The first “Got Shabbat” dinner and Kabbalat Shabbat last month was well attended and provided us with a meaningful Shabbat experience. The spirit of Shabbat filled our hearts and ruach filled the room. Thank you to all who gave their time and energy to make the evening so special. It was a pleasure to see new faces and welcome the several new families that joined us. Friday, September 24 is a Hol Hamoed Sukkot Service followed by “Got Shabbat” Congregation Sukkot Dinner. USY and Alumni will prepare and serve dinner as we welcome new members. Join us Sunday, September 26 for a CBI Sukka Hop! Meet at
the CBI Sukka at 12:00 noon to pick up a map to lead you on this adventure. Add to the fun and plan to carpool with friends. Everyone will receive a fun packet with games and questions to answer along the way! Look for clues at each sukka stop! Simhat Torah is just around the corner. The children of the Pauline Rivkind Talmud Torah will be making their own flags to carry and we invite the entire congregation to be creative and create yours as well. May you have a year of health, happiness and contentment. Shana Tova, Sandy Brasch Youth and Family Program Director

The festival of Sukkot reaches its joyous climax on Simhat Torah, which is the last day of the Holiday. It is the happiest holiday of the Jewish calendar because we celebrate our joy and pleasure in Torah. Because of Israel’s love of the Torah, a tradition evolved in ancient times to honor three individuals for their commitment to the Torah, to the Synagogue, and the Jewish way of life. On this day we read the last portion of Deuteronomy and then the first portion of Genesis.The individual called to the Torah when the last section of Deuteronomy is read is called Hatan or Kallah Torah. The individual called for the reading of the first portion of Genesis is called Hatan or Kallah Bereshit. The individual honored with the chanting of the Maftir on this day is called Hatan or Kallah Maftir. We continue this year the tradition at Congregation B'nai Israel of St. Petersburg to assign these portions to individuals who, because of their devotion to Judaism and their record of service to the Synagogue and the Jewish Community, have merited public tribute. To express our high regard and respect for the honorees, they are escorted under the Huppah to the Bimah for the special honor where they publicly reaffirm their love of Torah, God and Israel. We are honoring these individuals with these three very special Aliyot on Simhat Torah Morning, Friday, October 1st, 2010: Jack and Irma Mayer, our Hatan and Kallah Torah, moved to Florida in 1995 from St. Louis and joined CBI that year. Jack was born is Speyer, Germany and came to the US in l938 and settled in Toledo, Ohio where Irma was born. Jack graduated from the University of Toledo and was in the Navy during the Korean War. Irma graduated from the University of Michigan with a BS in Pharmacy. They are the proud parents of three daughters and five grandchildren. At CBI, Jack has served on the Board of Trustees as he also did in St. Louis. He also has been very active with the Mitzvah Men’s Club and has served as the webmaster of the CBI website, for which CBI was honored with a USCJ Synagogue of Excellence Award. Irma has served CBI as a member of the Ritual Committee, as a previous chairman of the Minyan Captains/Minyanaire Committee and as a member of the Spin-A-Yarn committee. Irma represented CBI Sisterhood as a Federation Woman of Distinction 2005 and was the Torah Fund Woman of Achievement in 2008. She was the Chairman of the Shalach Manot Project for CBI Sisterhood for many years. Irma is a life member of Hadassah and was VP of Programming for the past 4 years. Jack and Irma served as co-chairmen of the Adult Studies Committee of CBI for which CBI was awarded a USCJ Synagogue of Excellence in Adult Education in 2006. They also participated with the Social Action Committee and both served on the A-Team—Advocacy for Israel Committee Both Jack and Irma have been very active docents at the Florida Holocaust Museum where Jack has served as President of the Docent Council. He is a survivor speaker to school children and adults and taught a class to the local participants of the March of the Living and accompanied them to Poland and Israel in April, 2010 as a survivor speaker with the Southern US Region. Both of us were elected docent of the year, Jack in 2002 and Irma in 2003. Both also were volunteer ushers for the Florida Orchestra for about ten years at the Mahaffey Theater. Ed Ginsberg, our Hatan Bereshit, was born in the NYC borough of the Bronx to Lillian and Morris Ginsberg, the youngest of three children. Ed's family living in New York includes his sister and brother-in-law, their three children, spouses and grandchildren. Ed was a typical child in the 1950's. He was a Boy Scout, played little league baseball, had a newspaper route and enjoyed playing the drums. As a young man, he started deep sea fishing with his brother and uncle in the waters from City Island to Montauk. He took great pride in the boats he owned and maintained. He loved to tinker with automobiles and motorcycles, especially the engines which he often removed and usually put back in. He is an animal lover and has always kept a variety of pets with a deep sense of commitment to them. In 1975, Ed moved to Nanuet, New York where he worked as a licensed plumber for a large plumbing company. He has a natural sense about anything mechanical and can repair or build just about anything. His love of the water and warm climate brought him to Apollo Beach, Florida in 1989 where he continued to practice his trade. The St. Petersburg community of South Pasadena was fortunate when, in 1997, Ed found a small waterfront home where his family would often come to visit. In 1999 he and a partner formed their own successful plumbing company which they ran until
Page 23 2003. In May 2002 Ed's father, Morris, passed away followed six months later by his mother Lillian. The responsibility of saying Kaddish brought Ed a sense of fulfillment as well as connecting him with Congregation B'nai Israel where he rapidly became an integral part of its community. At Congregation B'nai Israel he shows his sense of chesed as he strives to help anybody and everybody in need. Many minyanaires with disabilities are regularly transported to and from shul by Ed. Ed also serves on the Hevra Kadisha. In addition, Ed has also taken an active role with the House Committee, where he has demonstrated that he can fix anything that is in need of repair. The members of the shul, and especially the daily minyan, have truly become Ed's family here in Florida. Ed is everybody's friend, a Mench's Mench who is ALWAYS there, ready willing, and able to help. Dr. Steven LeVine and Susan Marger LeVine, our Hatan and Kallah Maftir, have been active members of Congregation B’nai Israel since they were married here in 1995. Steve grew up at our synagogue ever since his parents moved here in 1958, when he was 4-years old. He has led the Yom Kippur service at Menorah Manor for more than a decade. At CBI, he enjoys leading services, reading Torah and Haftarah and has led Shacharit services on Rosh Hashanah for the past several years. In the community, Steve served on the board of Menorah Manor, is a lifetime associate member of Hadassah, and has been President of the Pinellas County Medical Association as well as Chief of Surgery at several area hospitals. When he finds a break during his hectic surgery schedule, Steve can be found playing music for his oldies rock-and-roll band “Doc Rock,” enjoying Shabbat morning services or broadening his knowledge of Cantorial Trope and music trivia at home. Susan recently completed her two-year term as President of CBI and is in the coveted role as Immediate Past President. She is active in CBI’s Youth Commission, Marketing Committee and Sisterhood. In the community, Susan was integral in bringing back the Jewish Community Center’s Camp Kadima and then served as Camp Director. She co-published the Pinellas County Jewish Day School’s Yearbook and is currently co-chairing the Pinellas County Jewish Federation’s Women of Distinction. She also serves on the Marketing Committee of Philip Benjamin Tower and is a lifetime member of Hadassah. Steve and Susan have four children, Jennifer, Jared, Marc and Danielle
